Log your first session
~2 min readMost of the app starts with a session. Here's how to log one, start to finish.
- Open Climb and tap Start session.
- Say what kind and where. Indoor or outdoor, boulder or ropes. Then start typing the gym or the crag and pick it from the list. If it isn't there, keep typing: the name becomes your own place.
- Log as you go. In a boulder session, tap a grade to count a problem. To keep track of one, give it a name and mark it Flash, Send or Attempts. A route takes its name, its grade and how it went. Nothing else is required.
- Tap Finish. You'll see the session's totals, with room for a note and for anything that hurt. Then Save session.
Next time at the same place: the session shows what you did on your last visit beside what you've done today.
Build & run a strength day
~3 min readBuild a template once. Each time you train, the workout records what you actually did.
- Open Train and tap New template.
- Add exercises in the order you'll do them: lifts, hangs, core, whatever your plan calls for. Each one is recorded as weight and reps, reps, or time.
- On the day, open Train and tap Start beside the template.
- Fill sets by tapping. Last time's numbers sit beside each row. Tap them to copy, or type your own, and tick the set when it's done. For a hang, the timer button on the exercise runs the clock, with a few seconds to get on the edge first if you want them.
- Change it as you go. Cut a set, add a set, swap a load. The workout records what you actually did.
- Tap Finish. Any new best is named, and if the day drifted from the template you choose whether the template follows. Then Save workout.
Tip: loads follow your units setting. Switch pounds and kilos any time in Preferences → Units, and your history reads in the new one.
Plan a season
~3 min readA season is a few things on one calendar: the weeks, a training phase or two, and what you're working toward.
- Open Plan and tap Open calendar. Pick a day and say what it's for: climbing, strength, a rest.
- Lay out a typical week. Give a strength day one of your templates, and repeat any day weekly for as long as the block runs.
- Name the block. Add a phase, such as Base or Power, with a start and a length. It runs across the calendar as a band.
- Add what you're working toward. A goal can be measured by a pyramid, by numbers, by how it feels, or in your own words. A trip is a place and some dates.
- As you log, your climbing and strength days are checked off for you. To move a day on the website, drag it in the month view. On the phone, open the day and move it.
Good to know: nothing breaks if you miss a day or a week. Move the days you still want and leave the rest.
Start a route pyramid
~2 min readA pyramid shows the climbs you want at each grade below your goal, and fills in as you send them.
- In Plan, tap New pyramid and pick the goal grade, say 5.12a.
- The app lays out the shape underneath: one route at the top, then two, three and four on the tiers below.
- Then climb. Clean sends you log by name fill the pyramid on their own, including ones from before it existed.
- Tap a tier to tick a route by hand, or to pin the one you want next.
- Before a trip, the empty slots show which grades you still need.
Note: only clean sends count, and a climb fills one slot however many times you repeat it.
